A year ago, last two of my molars in lower jaw started erupting and it all started with pain. But it did not erupt, it just felt hard there on touching. I thought it might be due to lack of calcium and started taking calcium supplements, and they finally erupted but only a little bit. Now whenever I chew food it hurts at those molar erupting areas. What do I do? Pls help!

Hi lybrate-user. Whenever tooth erupts, it forces itself in outward projection to attain its space in the dental arch. To achieve these, the tooth has to push through the bone and eventually the gums. There is a little injury to the gums at this process. This is normal but there is heavy chance of infection during this time. To rule out chances of infection, you must go through antibiotic medications and oral hygiene procedures. Please send the necessary photos of the affected area for a consultation.

Wisdom teeth usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 21, though it's possible for them to push through earlier or later. Referred to as your "third molars," these four teeth begin to push through the skin like any other tooth, which can cause pain. However, wisdom teeth are much more likely to grow in at an incorrect angle ? even sideways ? causing impaction that can radiate this pain to the teeth in front of it. Kindly get it extracted as soon as possible.
